Here I am! Here's my little preset to all of you my dear readers! Happy new year!

One of the abandoned classrooms

As the silver trio stood over the enchanted map of Hogwarts, Dick gave Ginny a friendly punch in the shoulder "Great job Gin"

"If you were a guy I would shower you with kisses" said Luna with a sly smile directed at Dick, which fortunately was left unnoticed by the guy.

"I'm more worried about Harry," said Dick as he looked at Ginny "wouldn't he notice its absence?"

Ginny shrugged "I hope not, though I did hear from 'Moine that now he has his head elsewhere...whatever that means"

"So, when are we going to use it?" asked Luna

Dick smiled at that before confidently saying "Tonight"

A few hours later...

In the dark hallways of the castle three children guided by one single light from one wand and a map held by the boy that stood between his two friends.

"Remind me one more time, how did you manage to convince me to go out in the castle in the dead of the night!" whispered Ginny as she clenched Dick's arm for dear life, as he looked down at the map unaware of the world around him.

" I didn't hear you complain when Dick suggested it" replied Luna who stood by Dick's other side

"Yes, but no one told me it was going to be this dark!" exclaimed Ginny

Then suddenly Dick abruptly stopped in his tracks "Hey, look at this"

(Turn the video to the 0.31 sec.)


(As you can imagine the conversation turned out like this more or less like this:

The greasy haired Professor gave them a sharp look "Weasley, Lovegood...Grey... what are you doing in the hallways during the night?"

Dick, not having the patience nor the will to deal with Snape just replied bluntly " we were sleepwalking, and I guess so were you judging by your hair"

Snape did not reply to the remark, and instead focused his attention on the boy's pockets "What's in there?" he asked

The three 12 year olds started fidgeting uncomfortably, trying as best as they could to fake their obliviousness to what he's talking about.

"Take out whatever you have in your pocket" the professor demanded

With a deep sigh Dick did not find any other option rather then comply with the demand.
Showing the old piece of parchment

"What is it?"

"A gift from the nargles" replied Luna before anyone could stop her

Then Snape put his wand on the parchment and I guess you read this after watching the video so you know how the rest of the scene turned out )

As the three children went with Professor Lupin to his office they could feel that he was not pleased, which only got confirmed when they entered the class.
